LOCAL BUS AND TRAM/STREETCAR
OPERATORS IN OTHER REGIONS OF PORTUGAL -

THESE
WEBSITES ARE ONLY IN PORTUGUESE UNLESS STATED. MANY DO NOT
HAVE BUS ROUTE MAPS!

This
list of bus companies has been compiled as a result of
travels around Portugal and from questions asked.
I have compiled summary timetables for some of the long
distance routes serving major tourist destinations here.
Many rural areas are served by small bus operators who do
not have websites. Local councils rarely have information on
their sites.
Often the only way to find out if a bus goes where you want
to go is to ask at the bus station in a nearby town.

This list is far from complete! Many bus operators do
not have websites or, if they do, I do not know of their
existence. If you can add to this list, please email
me.

I visited these cities (they are NOT in the Algarve!)
and picked up some more detailed information about local
trains, trams and buses while I was there. I have added
information to this site, which I hope will be of help if
you are planning to visit any of these places. They are a
long way from the Algarve, so a day trip is not possible.
They are all quite pleasant in their own way! PortoAveiroBragaCoimbraGuimarãesSinesCovilhãGuardaÉvora
